Oy. Both the EPA and GWPC have said that there is no proven link between fracking and contaminated groundwater. 99% of what is sent into the earth is plain, non-potable water. The other 1% is made up of various chemicals of varying toxicity, the most toxic two chemicals making up about 0.1% of the hundreds of thousands of gallons of liquid sent down.

The case correlating fracking to groundwater contamination is as strong as Jenny McCarthy's claims correlating vaccines to autism./Geologist who works for a major oil company.

First off, it wasn't a DC quake, it was a Mineral, VA quake that was felt in DC. Second, there is a history of earthquakes in the area dating back to colonial times. Third, there was no fracking going on in the area.

The movie Gas Land has been discredited and this particular water source had Nat gas in it BEFORE fracking began. They are called hissing wells; water wells that are also souces of nat gas. If anything Fracking will improve the water source since it is removing the nat gas. Peddle your propaganda elsewhere.

Notice that the flame is orange not blue. If it were natural gas the flame would be blue, orange indicates that it is either methane or acetylene, neither of which is found in gelogical formations. When found in ground water they are most likely cause by run off that leaches through highly decomosing organic soils.
